Chapter 855: Zeras vs. Lilian

"So she is related to Zeras and the Astral Emperor!"

"And not only related, but is another child of the Astral Emperor!"

"And she just requested a battle to the death? What is going on? What history occurred between these two to get to such a level of hatred?"

A commotion was caused outside the divine realm, as those watching the stone stele heard the brief conversation between Zeras and Lilian. The conversation had answered a lingering question, but also created many more. 

Curious eyes darted towards the Astral Empire camp, but none dared to directly ask about it. This issue was clearly more of a sore spot for the empire than anyone could have initially guessed.

"I refuse," Zeras replied calmly yet succinctly, clearly expecting Lilian to request this at the start of their battle.
